How do I make Opera my default browser? Do I need to delete the BB browser?

Thx,

Sorry T....

I thought the option came up when you opened a link.
Explain to us what you are seeing when you open links to a site.

Lunchtime! lol

There isn't any way to get Opera as the default browser. The BB Browser has to be the default.

Okay, guys...got it. What I was "hoping" for was when I clicked on the "browser" icon that instead of the BB browser opening, the Opera would instead. But, I guess I have to open Opera specifically. Got it...doesn't hurt to ask. ;)

Thanks, gents!

I'm pretty sure I saw this asked somewhere a long time ago and the answer back then was no. You can try looking under Options>Advanced Options>Browser and see if Opera is an option there. I don't have Opera installed at the moment or I would look. Let us know what you find, Rob.

To get the same effect hide the default browser and place opera icon in its place.

What is confusing me is that when I open a link I am not getting that option to open it in my opera browser and I have been running beta 2 for quite a few days now. Any help?

I get the option to open it in Opera, but what I was referring to is when I click on the browser icon, I wanted Opera to open. Guess we can't do that.

That's it. There's no way to change the default browser at the moment.
